Abstract
The participation of high-energy hot electrons generated from the non-radiative decay of localized surface plasmons is an important mechanism for promoting catalytic processes. Herein, another vital mechanism associated with the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect, significantly contributing to the nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR), is found. That is to say, the LSPR-induced strong localized electric fields can weaken the intermolecular hydrogen bonds and regulate the arrangement of water molecules at the solid-liquid interface. The AuCu pentacle nanoparticles with excellent light absorption ability and the capability to generate strong localized electric fields are chosen to demonstrate this effect. The in situ Raman spectra and theoretical calculations are employed to verify the mechanism at the molecular scale in a nitrogen fixation process. Meanwhile, due to the promoted electron transfer at the interface by the well-ordered interfacial water, as well as the participation of high-energy hot electrons, the optimal catalyst exhibits excellent performance with an NH3 yield of 52.09 µg h-1 cm-2 and Faradaic efficiency (FE) of 45.82% at ─0.20 V versus RHE. The results are significant for understanding the LSPR effect in catalysis and provide a new approach for regulating the reaction process.

Abstract
Solid-solution-type Au-Pt alloy nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared from the nanoclusters of each metal using the polymer-conjugated fusion growth method. The elemental mapping analysis showed that the mixing state of the elements in the NPs drastically changed in the narrow reaction-temperature range from 100 °C to 180 °C. For their various mixing states, the 5d-states of Au and Pt atoms in the alloy NPs were investigated on the basis of the white line intensities of X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES). Then, the 5d-states of Au and Pt atoms in a model crystalline ordered alloy structures were investigated on the basis of the theoretically calculated XANES spectra using density functional theory (DFT) in the whole composition range. The DFT calculation showed that the changes in the absorption spectra near the Pt and Au edges are caused by the change in the occupation of the Pt 5d-states and the orbital hybridisation of the Au 5d-states with the 5d-states of neighbouring Pt atoms around an Au atom, respectively.

Abstract
Electrocatalysts based on noble metals have been proven efficient for high-purity hydrogen production. However, the sluggish kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in alkaline media caused by high water dissociation energy largely hampers this electrochemical process. To improve the electrocatalytic activity, we fabricate an effective porous carbon matrix derived from cucurbit[6]uril using a template-free method to support iridium-molybdenum (IrMo) nanoclusters. As proof of concept, the resulting IrMo-doped carbon electrocatalyst (IrMo-CBC) was found to boost the alkaline HER significantly. Owing to the unique in-plane hole structure and the nitrogen-rich backbone of cucurbit[6]uril as well as the ultrafine IrMo nanoclusters, IrMo-CBC exhibits pronounced alkaline HER activity with an extremely low overpotential of 12 mV at 10 mA cm-2, an ultrasmall Tafel slope (28.06 mV dec-1), a superior faradic efficiency (98%), and a TOF of 11.6 H2 s-1 at an overpotential of 50 mV, outperforming most iridium-based electrocatalysts and commercial Pt/C.

Abstract
It is pivotal to develop an economical, effective, and stable catalyst to promote the oxygen/hydrogen evolution reaction (OER/HER) throughout pH electrolytes, as the demand for hydrogen energy will increase greatly with the future development. Herein, a series of Ir-Cu nanoparticle composite carbon (IrxCuy/C) catalysts are successfully synthesized using ethylene glycol reduction. In addition, the structure, morphology and composition of the electrocatalysts were systematically characterized, and the OER/HER performance of the catalysts was also tested under different pH conditions. According to experimental findings, amorphous Ir3Cu/C has superior competent performance to catalyze oxygen (O2) production in alkaline and acidic environments. The comparatively low overpotentials required are 222 mV and 304 mV, respectively, while generating a current density of 10 mA cm-2. The reduced amount of precious metal and the further improvement in activity and durability make Ir3Cu/C an excellent noble metal-based electrocatalyst. Meanwhile, IrCu/C has significant electrocatalytic performance for the HER in acidic media.

Abstract
Ruthenium (Ru) is the most widely used metal as an electrocatalyst for nitrogen (N2 ) reduction reaction (NRR) because of the relatively high N2 adsorption strength for successive reaction. Recently, it has been well reported that the homogeneous Ru-based metal alloys such as RuRh, RuPt, and RuCo significantly enhance the selectivity and formation rate of ammonia (NH3 ). However, the metal combinations for NRR have been limited to several miscible combinations of metals with Ru, although various immiscible combinations have immense potential to show high NRR performance. In this study, an immiscible combination of Ru and copper (Cu) is first utilized, and homogeneous alloy nanoparticles (RuCu NPs) are fabricated by the carbothermal shock method. The RuCu homogeneous NP alloys on cellulose/carbon nanotube sponge exhibit the highest selectivity and NH3 formation rate of ≈31% and -73 μmol h-1 cm-2 , respectively. These are the highest values of the selectivity and NH3 formation rates among existing Ru-based alloy metal combinations.

Abstract
The pace of nanomaterial discovery for high-performance electrocatalysts could be accelerated by the development of efficient screening methods. However, conventional electrochemical characterization via drop-casting is inherently inaccurate and time-consuming, as such ensemble measurements are serially performed through nanocatalyst synthesis, morphological characterization, and performance testing. Herein, we propose a rapid electrochemical screening method for bimetallic electrocatalysts that combines nanoparticle (NP) preparation and performance testing at the single NP level, thus avoiding any inhomogeneous averaging contribution. We employed single NP collision electrochemistry to realize in situ electrodeposition of a precisely tunable Pt shell onto individual parent NPs, followed by instantaneous electrocatalytic measurement of the newborn bimetallic core-shell NPs. We demonstrated the utility of this approach by screening bimetallic Au-Pt NPs and Ag-Pt NPs, thereby exhibiting promising electrocatalytic activity at optimal atomic ratios for methanol oxidation and oxygen reduction reactions, respectively. This work provides a new insight for the rapid screening of other bimetallic electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Finding a suitable catalyst is an important research direction in hydrogen (H2) production from water electrolysis. We report a synthetic method to obtain IrxCo/C clusters by polyol reduction. The catalyst is small in size and can be evenly distributed. The Ir3Co/C cluster catalyst had very good activity under acidic conditions. The overpotential of the best-performing Ir3Co/C cluster for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is only 290 mV and 91 mV when 10 mA cm−2 and 100 mA cm−2. The catalyst performance may be improved because of the synergistic effect and the small size of the prepared catalyst, which accelerates proton transfer. This approach offers a strategy to reduce costs while improving catalytic activity.

Abstract
Precise control of the elemental composition and distribution in bimetallic nanoparticles is of great interest for both fundamental studies and applications, e.g. in catalysis. We present a new innovative and facile synthesis strategy for the production of true solid solution Pt1−xRhx nanoparticles. This constitutes a development of the established heat-up method, where undesired shell formation is fully suppressed, despite utilizing metal precursors with different reaction rates. The concept is demonstrated through synthesis of selected Pt1−xRhx solid solution compositions via the polyalcohol reduction approach. In addition, we provide modified procedures, using the same surface stabilizing agent/metal precursors reaction matrix yielding controlled model Rh(core)–Pt(shell) and Pt(core)–Rh(shell) nanoparticles. Tunable bimetallic solid solution and core–shell nanoparticles with the same capping agent are of key importance in systematic fundamental studies, as functional materials properties may be altered by modifying the surface termination. In this work, we establish an innovative protocol for the production of Pt–Rh solid solution/core–shell nanoparticles with excellent control of element distribution and composition, built upon the well-established heat-up method.![]()

Abstract
Solid-solution alloy nanoparticles (NPs) comprising Pd and Ru, which are immiscible in the bulk state, have been synthesised and show excellent catalytic performance. To date, most studies have evaluated the stability of alloy NPs at 0 K only. Because the thermodynamic stability of Pd-Ru alloy NPs may differ from that of the alloy in the bulk state, the stable configuration of the NPs must be evaluated under a finite temperature. Such stability evaluations are critical for developing the durable NPs as catalysts. Therefore, the thermodynamic stability of Pd-Ru alloy NPs was analysed using density functional theory (DFT), supervised learning (SL), and Wang-Landau sampling. We calculated the excess energy of Pd-Ru alloy NPs, which depends on their composition, structure, NP size, adatom type, and defects, and applied SL to all models. The excess energies of the Pd-Ru alloy NPs expressed by structural information, such as the surface-to-volume ratio, correlated with those calculated using DFT. Wang-Landau sampling based on the energy estimated by SL gave the thermodynamic stability of Pd-Ru alloy NPs with a stable configuration under a finite temperature. The solid-solution atomic configuration was subdivided into partially mixed configurations in the surface layer or in the core of the NPs, which is different from the bulk state. The partially mixed configuration was determined by the overall composition and surface properties. The findings from the combined method could contribute to a better understanding of the alloy-NP stability and their application in catalysis.

Abstract
This study provided an effective strategy to construct dual-atom sites by solid-solution alloying. A slow synthesis methodology was established for the solid-solution preparations as dual-atom-site catalysts. The atomic-level homogeneous Pdx Rh1-x dual-atom-site catalysts were successfully synthesized over the whole composition range, as evidenced by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscope energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mapping measurements. The challenging morphology formation in the immiscible alloys was achieved by an energy-controlling process as the octahedral Rh-rich alloys. The Pd0.3 Rh0.7 dual-atom-site catalyst had unique surface states to activate the key reactants of CO and NO in the complex three-way catalytic reactions, and it performed significantly better than pure Rh.

Abstract
Precious metals are key in various fields of research and precious metal nanomaterials are directly relevant for optics, catalysis, pollution management, sensing, medicine, and many other applications. Iridium based nanomaterials are less studied than metals like gold, silver or platinum. A specific feature of iridium nanomaterials is the relatively small size nanoparticles and clusters easily obtained, e.g. by colloidal syntheses. Progress over the years overcomes the related challenging characterization and it is expected that the knowledge on iridium chemistry and nanomaterials will be growing. Although Ir nanoparticles have been preferred systems for the development of kinetic-based models of nanomaterial formation, there is surprisingly little knowledge on the actual formation mechanism(s) of iridium nanoparticles. Following the impulse from the high expectations on Ir nanoparticles as catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction in electrolyzers, new areas of applications of iridium materials have been reported while more established applications are being revisited. This review covers different synthetic strategies of iridium nanoparticles and provides an in breadth overview of applications reported. Comprehensive Tables and more detailed topic-oriented overviews are proposed in Supplementary Material, covering synthesis protocols, the historical role or iridium nanoparticles in the development of nanoscience and applications in catalysis.

Abstract
This study has established a three-solvent methodology for separating nanomaterials, such as monometallic nanoparticles, miscible and immiscible nanoalloys. After systematically investigating the separation methods in two-solvent and three-solvent systems, a three-solvent theoretical model has been proposed to thoroughly reveal the centrifugation mechanism of colloidal particles. PVP plays an important role in the formation of emulsion droplets as the key factor for separation. Based on the three-solvent model, a novel solvent system has been discovered, with low-toxicity solvents and high separation efficiency. This study can open a new path for the separation of colloidal particles in both research and industrial fields and further promote the development of functional nanomaterials in greener pathways.

Abstract
SignificanceDynamically understanding the microscopic processes governing ordering transformations has rarely been attained. The situation becomes even more challenging for nanoscale alloys, where the significantly increased surface-area-to-volume ratio not only opens up a variety of additional freedoms to initiate an ordering transformation but also allows for kinetic interplay between the surface and bulk due to their close proximity. We provide direct evidence of the microscopic processes controlling the ordering transformation through the surface-bulk interplay in Pt-Fe nanoalloys and new features rendered by variations in alloy composition and chemical stimuli. These results provide a mechanistic detail of ordering transformation phenomena which are widely relevant to nanoalloys as chemical ordering occurs in most multicomponent materials under suitable environmental bias.

Abstract
Alloy nanoparticles (NPs), including core-shell, segregated and solid-solution types, show a variety of attractive properties such as catalytic and optical properties and are used in a wide range of applications. Precise control and good reproducibility in the syntheses of alloy NPs are highly demanded because these properties are tunable by controlling alloy structures, compositions, particle sizes, and so on. To improve the efficiency and reproducibility of their syntheses, continuous-flow syntheses with various types of reactors have recently been developed instead of the current mainstream approach, batch syntheses. In this review, we focus on the continuous-flow syntheses of alloy NPs and first overview the flow syntheses of NPs, especially of alloy NPs. Subsequently, the details of flow reactors and their chemistry to synthesize core-shell, segregated, solid-solution types of alloy NPs, and high-entropy alloy NPs are introduced. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives in this field are discussed.

Abstract
Design and synthesis of electrocatalysts with high activity and low cost is an important challenge for water splitting. We report a rapid and facile synthetic route to obtain Ir x Ni clusters via polyol reduction. The Ir x Ni clusters show excellent activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic electrolytes. The optimized Ir2Ni/C clusters exhibit an electrochemical active area of 18.27 mF cm-2, with the overpotential of OER being 292 mV and HER being 30 mV at 10 mA cm-2, respectively. In addition, the Ir2Ni/C used as the cathode and anode for the H-type hydrolysis tank only needs 1.597 V cell voltages. The excellent electrocatalytic performance is mainly attributed to the synergistic effect between the metals and the ultra-fine particle size. This study provides a novel strategy that has a broad application for water splitting.

Abstract
With the capability of inducing intense electromagnetic field, energetic charge carriers, and photothermal effect, plasmonic metals provide a unique opportunity for efficient light utilization and chemical transformation. Earth-abundant low-cost Cu possesses intense and tunable localized surface plasmon resonance from ultraviolet-visible to near infrared region. Moreover, Cu essentially exhibits remarkable catalytic performance toward various reactions owing to its intriguing physical and chemical properties. Coupling with light-harvesting ability and catalytic function, plasmonic Cu serves as a promising platform for efficient light-driven chemical reaction. Herein, recent advancements of Cu-based plasmonic photocatalysis are systematically summarized, including designing and synthetic strategies for Cu-based catalysts, plasmonic catalytic performance, and mechanistic understanding over Cu-based plasmonic catalysts. What's more, approaches for the enhancement of light utilization efficiency and construction of active centers on Cu-based plasmonic catalysts are highlighted and discussed in detail, such as morphology and size control, regulation of electronic structure, defect and strain engineering, etc. Remaining challenges and future perspectives for further development of Cu-based plasmonic catalysis are also proposed.

Abstract
Proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer can sustainably and environmentally friendly produce hydrogen. However, it is hindered by the lack of high-performance anode catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acid electrolyte. Herein, IrCuNi deeply concave nanocubes (IrCuNi DCNCs) are successfully synthesized from the selective etching of the facet of cubic nanoparticles, and they significantly boost the OER. The obtained IrCuNi DCNCs show high activity toward OER in the acidic electrolyte, which only requires an overpotential of 273 mV to achieve the OER current density of 10 mA cm-2 at a low Ir loading of 6.0 μgIr cm-2. The precious metal based mass activity is 6.6 A mgIr-1 at 1.53 V, which is 19 times as high as that of pristine Ir. It demonstrates that the outstanding catalytic performance is beneficial from the well-defined multimetal concave nanostructures, which may shed light on the fabrication of efficient water electrolyzers.

Abstract
Since 1970, people have been making every endeavor to reduce toxic emissions from automobiles. After the development of a three-way catalyst (TWC) that concurrently converts three harmful gases, carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HCs), and nitrogen oxides (NOx ), Rh became an essential element in automobile technology because only Rh works efficiently for catalytic NOx reduction. However, due to the sharp price spike in 2007, numerous efforts have been made to replace Rh in TWCs. Nevertheless, Rh remains irreplaceable, and now, the price of Rh is increasing significantly again. Here, it is demonstrated that PdRuM ternary solid-solution alloy nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit highly durable and active TWC performance, which will result in a significant reduction in catalyst cost compared to Rh. This work provides insights into the design of highly durable and efficient functional alloy NPs, guiding how to best take advantage of the configurational entropy in addition to the mixing enthalpy.

Abstract
We demonstrate systematic tuning in the optical bandgaps of molecular crystals achieved by the generation of molecular alloys/solid solutions of a series of diphenyl dichalcogenides-characterized by weak chalcogen bonding interactions involving S, Se, and Te atoms. Despite the variety in chalcogen bonding interactions found in this series of dichalcogenide crystals, they show isostructural interaction topologies, enabling the formation of solid solutions. The alloy crystals exhibit Vegard's law-like trends of variation in their unit cell dimensions and a nonlinear trend for the variation in optical bandgaps with respect to their compositions. Energy-dispersive X-ray and spatially resolved Raman spectroscopic studies indicate significant homogeneity in the domain structure of the solid solutions. Quantum periodic calculations of the projected density of states provide insights into the bandgap tuning in terms of the mixing of states in the alloy crystal phases.

Abstract
Globally, millions of people die of microbial infection-related diseases every year. The more terrible situation is that due to the overuse of antibiotics, especially in developing countries, people are struggling to fight with the bacteria variation. The emergence of super-bacteria will be an intractable environmental and health hazard in the future unless novel bactericidal weapons are mounted. Consequently, it is critical to develop viable antibacterial approaches to sustain the prosperous development of human society. Recent researches indicate that transition metal sulfides (TMSs) represent prominent bactericidal application potential owing to the meritorious antibacterial performance, acceptable biocompatibility, high solar energy utilization efficiency, and excellent photo-to-thermal conversion characteristics, and thus, a comprehensive review on the recent advances in this area would be beneficial for the future development. In this review article, we start with the antibacterial mechanisms of TMSs to provide a preliminary understanding. Thereafter, the state-of-the-art research progresses on the strategies for TMSs materials engineering so as to promote their antibacterial properties are systematically surveyed and summarized, followed by a summary of the practical application scenarios of TMSs-based antibacterial platforms. Finally, based on the thorough survey and analysis, we emphasize the challenges and future development trends in this area.

Abstract
We report the synthesis of MoRu solid-solution alloy nanoparticles using carbonyl complexes as a precursor through thermal decomposition. Alloying Ru with an early transition metal, Mo, leads to an electronic structure change, resulting in an enhancement of the catalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction, which overtook that of the Pt catalyst.

Abstract
This study provides a coreduction methodology for solid solution formation in immiscible systems, with an example of a whole-region immiscible Cu–Ru system. Although the binary Cu–Ru alloy system is very unstable in the bulk state, the atomic-level well-mixed CuRu solid solution nanoparticles were found to have high thermal stability up to at least 773 K in a vacuum. The exhaust purification activity of the CuRu solid solution was comparable to that of face-centred cubic Ru nanoparticles. According to in situ infrared measurements, stronger NO adsorption and higher intrinsic reactivity of the Ru site on the CuRu surface than that of a pure Ru surface were found, affected by atomic-level Cu substitution. Furthermore, CuRu solid solution was a versatile catalyst for purification of all exhaust gases at a stoichiometric oxygen concentration. This study provides a coreduction methodology for solid solution formation in immiscible systems, with an example of a whole-region immiscible Cu–Ru system.![]()

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters fill the gap between discrete atoms and plasmonic nanoparticles, providing unique opportunities for investigating the quantum effects and precise structure-property correlations at the atomic level. As a versatile strategy, alloying can largely improve the physicochemical performances compared to the corresponding homo-metal nanoclusters, and thus benefit the applications of such nanomaterials. In this review, we highlight the achievements of atomically precise alloy nanoclusters, and summarize the alloying principles and fundamentals, including the synthetic methods, site-preferences for different heteroatoms in the templates, and alloying-induced structure and property changes. First, based on various Au or Ag nanocluster templates, heteroatom doping modes are presented. The templates with electronic shell-closing configurations tend to maintain their structures during doping, while the others may undergo transformation and give rise to alloy nanoclusters with new structures. Second, alloy nanoclusters of specific magic sizes are reviewed. The arrangement of different atoms is related to the symmetry of the structures; that is, different atoms are symmetrically located in the nanoclusters of smaller sizes, and evolve into shell-by-shell structures at larger sizes. Then, we elaborate on the alloying effects in terms of optical, electrochemical, electroluminescent, magnetic and chiral properties, as well as the stability and reactivity via comparisons between the doped nanoclusters and their homo-metal counterparts. For example, central heteroatom-induced photoluminescence enhancement is emphasized. The applications of alloy nanoclusters in catalysis, chemical sensing, bio-labeling, and other fields are further discussed. Finally, we provide perspectives on existing issues and future efforts. Overall, this review provides a comprehensive synthetic toolbox and controllable doping modes so as to achieve more alloy nanoclusters with customized compositions, structures, and properties for applications. This review is based on publications available up to February 2020.

Abstract
Developing efficient and durable multifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is of significant importance for many electrochemical energy devices, such as water electrolyzers, metal-air batteries, and fuel cells. Herein, the Rh-Cu alloy nanocrystals (NCs) are prepared with a simple wet-chemical approach. The tuning of morphology and the asymmetric electron distribution provide more efficient Rh-Cu bimetallic sites. Meanwhile, the incorporation of Cu into the Rh lattice could reduce the oxidation of Rh-Cu bimetallic sites and increase the catalytic stability. Under the tuning of the composition, the drastically enhanced electrocatalytic activities of HER, OER, and ORR are achieved in the Rh6Cu1 NCs with the cell voltage required to be as low as 1.55 V to accomplish an overall water splitting of 10 mA cm-2 and a maximum power density of 142.58 mW cm-2 for a zinc-air battery with good stability, representing the best trifunctional electrocatalysts for all we know. This work highlights the design and control of Rh-Cu NCs, which could be a potential alternative approach to trifunctional catalysis and further boosts the development of the bimetallic electrocatalysts in the energy conversion system.

Abstract
The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is pivotal for renewable energy conversion and storage devices, such as water electrolyzers and rechargeable metal-air batteries. However, the rational design of electrocatalysts with suitably high efficiencies and stabilities in strongly acidic electrolytes remains a significant challenge. Here, we show the demonstration of sub-10 nm, composition-tunable Rh-Ir alloy nanoparticles (NPs) prepared using a scalable microwave-assisted method as superior acidic OER catalysts. The OER activities showed a volcano-shaped dependence on Ir composition, with Ir-rich NPs (Ir ≥ 51%) achieving better OER performance than pure Ir NPs, as reflected by lower overpotentials and higher mass activities. Most significantly, Rh22Ir78 NPs achieved a maximum mass activity of 1.17 A mg-1Ir at a 300 mV overpotential in 0.5 M H2SO4, which corresponds to a 3-fold enhancement relative to pure Ir NPs, making it one of the most active reported OER catalysts under acidic conditions. Density functional theory calculations reveal that owing to the synergy of ensemble and electronic effects by alloying a small amount of Rh with Ir, the binding energy difference of the O and OOH intermediates is reduced, leading to faster kinetics and enhanced OER activity. Furthermore, Rh-Ir alloy NPs demonstrated excellent durability in strongly acidic electrolyte. This work not only provides fundamental understandings relating to composition-electrochemical performance relationships but also represents the rational design of highly efficient OER electrocatalysts for applications in acidic media.

Abstract
The field of nanotechnology is rapidly growing. The promise of pharmacotherapeutics emerging from this vast field has drawn the attention of many researchers. However, with the increase in the prevalence of antibiotic resistant microorganisms, the manifestations of these promises are needed now more than ever. Many have postulated the antimicrobial potential of nanoparticle constructs derived from precious metals/noble metals nanoparticles (NMNPs), such as silver nanoparticles that show activity against multidrug resistant bacteria. In this review we will evaluate the current studies and explore the data to obtain a clear picture of the potential of these particles and the validity of the claims of drug resistant treatments with NMNPs.

Abstract
One of the key issues for an upcoming hydrogen energy-based society is to develop highly efficient hydrogen-storage materials. Among the many hydrogen-storage materials reported, transition-metal hydrides can reversibly absorb and desorb hydrogen, and have thus attracted much interest from fundamental science to applications. In particular, the Pd-H system is a simple and classical metal-hydrogen system, providing a platform suitable for a thorough understanding of ways of controlling the hydrogen-storage properties of materials. By contrast, metal nanoparticles have been recently studied for hydrogen storage because of their unique properties and the degrees of freedom which cannot be observed in bulk, i. e., the size, shape, alloying, and surface coating. In this review, we overview the effects of such degrees of freedom on the hydrogen-storage properties of Pd-related nanomaterials, based on the fundamental science of bulk Pd-H. We shall show that sufficiently understanding the nature of the interaction between hydrogen and host materials enables us to control the hydrogen-storage properties though the electronic-structure control of materials.

Abstract
Ru is an important catalyst in many types of reactions. Specifically, Ru is well known as the best monometallic catalyst for oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) and has been practically used in residential fuel cell systems. However, Ru is a minor metal, and the supply risk often causes violent fluctuations in the price of Ru. Performance-improved and cost-reduced solid-solution alloy nanoparticles of the Cu-Ru system for CO oxidation are now presented. Over the whole composition range, all of the Cux Ru1-x nanoparticles exhibit significantly enhanced CO oxidation activities, even at 70 at % of inexpensive Cu, compared to Ru nanoparticles. Only 5 at % replacement of Ru with Cu provided much better CO oxidation activity, and the maximum activity was achieved by 20 at % replacement of Ru by Cu. The origin of the high catalytic performance was found as CO site change by Cu substitution, which was investigated using in situ Fourier transform infrared spectra and theoretical calculations.

Emergence of high ORR activity through controlling local density-of-states by alloying immiscible Au and Ir. Chem Sci 2018; 10:652-656.

Abstract
Although Ir or Au is not active for ORR, we first demonstrate highly active Au0.5Ir0.5 alloy by emulating Pt LDOS profile.
The electronic structure of surface atoms has a great effect on catalytic activity because the binding energy of reactants is closely related to the electronic structure. Therefore, designing and controlling the local density of states (LDOS) of the catalyst surface would be a rational way to develop innovative catalysts. Herein, we first demonstrate a highly active AuIr solid-solution alloy electrocatalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) by emulating the Pt LDOS profile. The calculated LDOS of Ir atoms on the Au0.5Ir0.5(111) surface closely resembled that of Pt(111), resulting in suitable oxygen adsorption energy on the alloy surface for the ORR. We successfully synthesized AuIr solid-solution alloys, while Ir and Au are immiscible even above their melting points in the bulk state. Although monometallic Ir or Au is not active for the ORR, the synthesized Au0.5Ir0.5 alloy demonstrated comparable activity to Pt at 0.9 V versus a reversible hydrogen electrode.

Abstract
The synthesis of ultrasmall supported bimetallic nanoparticles (between 1 and 3 nanometers in diameter) with well-defined stoichiometry and intimacy between constituent metals remains a substantial challenge. We synthesized 10 different supported bimetallic nanoparticles via surface inorganometallic chemistry by decomposing and reducing surface-adsorbed heterometallic double complex salts, which are readily obtained upon sequential adsorption of target cations and anions on a silica substrate. For example, adsorption of tetraamminepalladium(II) [Pd(NH3)42+] followed by adsorption of tetrachloroplatinate [PtCl42−] was used to form palladium-platinum (Pd-Pt) nanoparticles. These supported bimetallic nanoparticles show enhanced catalytic performance in acetylene selective hydrogenation, which clearly demonstrates a synergistic effect between constituent metals.
